Works For Me(tm)

(Actually, my Dad).

For Christmas my dad asked me to install Linux on his laptop, replacing Windows98. I decided to put Ubuntu on his system and found replacements/equivalents for the software he uses day-to-day. I bought him a copy of Crossover 4.1 for two things: MS Office XP, which he needs ocassionally (but he seemed happy to use OOo most of the time), and Dreamweaver Ultradev 4 (Education Edition--my dad is a retired Math/CS college professor and uses this to maintain web sites for some volunteer work he's doing in retirement).

Installing Dreamweaver on a raw XOver install didn't work: the installer got to 99% done then gave a weird error. But, after I installed DCOM95 from the Office XP cdrom, then installed IE 6.0 (just the web browser, since he won't use it anyway), Dreamweaver installed and seemed to work fine. We didn't have time to do more than open it up and view some of the old work he'd done but it looked good!

We had problems installing DCOM95 from the internet; I wonder if MS moved it somewhere? It kept giving errors, but the one on the Office XP disk seemed to work OK. Not sure if you actually need IE6; I didn't try the Dreamweaver install with just DCOM95.

Thanks folks!

Oh, one thing I forgot: the install of Dreamweaver finished but XOver never noticed (and indeed, the wine instance for the installer never died). After waiting for an hour or so (chatting with the family) I did a force-quit and then I had to kill the wine instance but it all seemed to work after that.
